Ege in Russian time of writing. Rules and procedure for the exam. Passing scores in subjects

In 2017, a new KIM USE model in biology was adopted, aimed at increasing the diversity of the tested aspects of the biological training of graduates.

Each version of the examination paper consists of two parts. Tasks in the variant are presented in sequential numbering mode. The structure of the examination work has been optimized:

1. The number of tasks in the examination paper has been reduced from 40 to 28.
2. In part 1, tasks of new types are proposed, which differ significantly in the types of educational actions: to fill in the missing elements of a diagram or table, to find errors in a drawing, to analyze and synthesize information, to analyze graphs and tables with statistical data.
3. The maximum number of primary points has been slightly reduced: from 61 in 2016 to 59 in 2017.
4. The time to complete the job was increased from 180 to 210 minutes.

In part 2, the number and types of tasks with a detailed answer remained unchanged - 7 tasks.

Special emphasis is placed on the formation of methods of activity: mastering methodological skills; application of knowledge in explaining biological processes, phenomena, mastering the ability to solve biological problems. Testing the skills of working with information of biological content is carried out through its presentation in various ways (in the form of texts, pictures, diagrams, tables, graphs, diagrams).

In 2017, it is planned to exclude all tasks with a choice of one answer from the exam paper of the Unified State Examination in biology. This is due to the presence of the following significant shortcomings in them: uniformity of the form of presentation of the tested content, inability to create tasks of a problematic or creative nature; lack of capacity to test students' practical skills; difficulty in identifying true gaps in the development of content among USE participants. A significant drawback of tasks with a choice of one answer is also the presence of an element of randomness, guessing the correct answer.

As shown by a comparative analysis of the USE results over the past two years, the decrease in the number of items in the examination work with the choice of one correct answer from 36 to 25 did not entail a noticeable decrease in the USE results. The proportion of participants in the USE in biology who did not score the minimum number of points remains approximately at the same level, within the limits of statistically acceptable errors.

Significant modernization in the form and structure of the CMM required adjusting the approaches to the construction of the examination work, the inclusion of assignments of a new format.

In part 1 of the examination paper of the new format, only tasks with a short answer were saved, but their number was increased, and in a number of cases the form of their presentation was significantly changed compared to previous years. It is known that tasks with a short answer allow not only to check a larger volume of the content of a subject, but also, most importantly, to provide an assessment of general educational and subject skills (comparison, generalization, classification, systematization, explanation, solution of educational and practical problems, etc.), that corresponds to modern trends in the development of general education.

Along with the preservation of the existing tasks, new biological tasks have appeared, the range of tasks with a drawing has expanded.

As an example of a modernized task, we will give task 3 (here and below, tasks from the project of the demo version of the CMM are given).

This is a calculated biological problem. The task was created on the basis of tasks with a choice of one answer, traditional for KIM USE in biology. In the new edition, the USE participant, based on knowledge of genetic information and the chromosome set of somatic and germ cells, independently carries out all the necessary calculations.

As an example of a task for working with a drawing, let us give task 4.

A feature of this model of the assignment is that the person being certified is invited to deduce two of its characteristic features from the "blind" image of the object (there are no captions for the figure). Moreover, one of the features given in the task checks the knowledge of the morphology of the object, while the second - the knowledge of properties or functions. Such tasks test, in addition to the ability to work with visual information, knowledge in the field of the cell and its vital activity.

Along with the well-known or modernized types of tasks, completely new tasks are included in the examination work that check the development of the conceptual apparatus by filling in the gaps in diagrams, tables, working with graphs, tables, histograms, etc. All of them are aimed at strengthening the activity basis and make the examination work more practice-oriented.

An example of such tasks is task 1.

This task allows you to check not only knowledge of the conceptual apparatus of the course of biology, but also the ability to establish the subordination and hierarchy of terms (concepts), as well as their internal logical connection.

Let's consider examples of tasks (task 21) for working with information presented in graphical or tabular form, tasks for analyzing research results.

It seems that with the help of such tasks it is possible to ensure that graduates have formed the foundations of a holistic scientific picture of the world and the ability to analyze, evaluate and generalize scientific information.

The new KIM model of the USE is successive to the existing model of the USE 9 in biology. Certain types of assignments, which will be included in the KIM in a modernized form in 2017, have been successfully tested for many years during the certification of students in basic general education programs and are available in the open bank of OGE assignments. They can become the basis for preparing students for the exam in biology in the coming academic year.

Task 9 is an example of continuity.

In the OGE, with the help of such tasks, knowledge of the structure, life and importance of animals and plant organisms is tested. In the new KIM USE model, bacteria and viruses will be added to these objects.

In general, in the exam model of the USE in 2017, the objects of control, as in previous years, are knowledge and skills that make up the invariant core of the content of the course in biology of basic and secondary schools, its sections "Plants", "Bacteria, fungi, lichens", "Animals "," Man and his health "," General biology ". These sections are presented in the Codifier in the form of seven content blocks and requirements for the level of training of graduates of educational organizations for the 2017 unified state exam in biology.

Increasingly, parents of schoolchildren turn to our school with a request to prepare future graduates for the Unified State Exam in English 2018. Therefore, we decided to write a detailed article in which we will tell you how to prepare for this exam: we will consider its structure and give practical advice for successfully passing each part of the Unified State Exam and present the best tutorials and online resources to prepare you for this challenging challenge.

What is the Unified State Exam in English 2018

The USE in English 2018 is the final exam at school, which counts as an entrance exam to the university, so it is so important to pass it with a high score. While this exam is not mandatory, but if a graduate is going to enter a specialized university, he needs to pass this test.

In terms of structure and level of complexity, the Unified State Exam is similar to the FCE international exam. This means that for successful delivery, the student must have a level (above average). This is a high level, so we recommend starting to prepare for the Unified State Exam in English from grade 10, then in 2 years the student will be able to master the entire required amount of material at a normal pace.

In principle, you can prepare for the exam in 1 year, but only if at the time of the beginning of the preparation the student already speaks English at the (intermediate) level. Don't know what level the graduate has? Then invite him to go through.

How is the exam in English going in 2018? The exam consists of a written and an oral part, which are held on different days. On one day, students take the written part, it includes the following sections: listening, reading, writing, grammar and vocabulary. In total, on this day, the graduate needs to complete 40 tasks in 180 minutes. A student can receive a maximum of 20 points for each section. Thus, for this day, you can score 80 points.

The second part - oral - takes place on another day and rented at will... It lasts only 15 minutes and consists of 4 tasks. On this day, a graduate can earn 20 more points. We strongly advise all graduates to take the oral part: in case of unsuccessful answers, you do not lose anything, and in case of successful - earn extra points.

Thus, a graduate can achieve a maximum of 100 points in the exam. The minimum score for passing the exam is 22 points.

Below we present a table for converting USE scores in English into a five-point system.

The USE results are usually published 14 days after passing the second part of the exam, but in some cases they are known as early as 12 days. You can find out your results on the official website of the exam by filling in all the required fields. The paper certificates of the exam were canceled in 2014, so now only electronic certificates are available.

The structure of the Unified State Exam in English 2018 and the principles of successful delivery of each part

In this chapter, we will tell you in detail what tasks the graduate will have to complete in each part of the exam. In addition, we will provide advice from our teachers who prepare students for the exam. By the way, if you are looking for a teacher who will prepare your child for the exam, take a look at. They have been doing this for several years now and have developed their own strategy for successful preparation, they know what pitfalls await in the exam, what typical mistakes schoolchildren make and how to get rid of these mistakes.

As an example, we will present you with a demo version of the USE in English, provided by the official website of the Federal Institute for Pedagogical Measurements fipi.ru.

Listening

The listening session lasts 30 minutes and consists of three parts. The first two parts are the first and second tasks, respectively, and the third part is tasks №3-9 (from the general list of 40 tasks).

Listening to the Unified State Exam in English in 2018 includes 3 audio fragments combined into one recording. The examiners turn on the recording and do not stop it until the very end, however, between the fragments there are pauses for reading the assignments and transferring the answers to the form. For each correct answer in this and other parts of the exam, the student receives 1 point. Let's take a look at what the graduate has to do in listening.

Exercise 1: 7 statements are given. The student listens to 6 statements and correlates them with statements, one of which is superfluous.

6 points.

Example:

Listening, task 1

Assignment 2: 7 statements are given. The student listens to the dialogue and determines which statements correspond to the content of the dialogue (True), which do not correspond (False), and which are not mentioned in it (Not Stated).

Maximum points: 7 points.

Example:

Listening task 2

Assignment 3: 7 questions are given, each of them is offered with 3 answer options. The student listens to the audio recording and selects the correct answer to each question.

Maximum points: 7 points.

Example:

Listening, task 3

Our advice:

When preparing for the exam, you need to do as many listening tasks as possible in the exam format... So the graduate will get used to quickly reading assignments and catching keywords in speech that will help find the right answer.
When choosing an answer, you need to rely not on the words mentioned in the speaker's speech, but on the meaning of his words. So, for example, in his speech he can in one way or another mention all the answers to the task, but if you delve into what has been said, you can understand that there is only one correct answer.

Reading

Reading lasts 30 minutes and consists of 3 parts (9 tasks). For each part, we advise you to spend no more than 10 minutes in order to keep within the allotted half hour.

Exercise 1: 7 short texts (3-6 sentences in each) and 8 headings are given. You need to read the texts and select the appropriate heading for each of them. In this case, 1 heading will be superfluous.

Maximum points: 7 points.

Example:

Reading task 1

Assignment 2: Given a text with 6 gaps. Below are 7 excerpts, 6 of which need to be inserted in place of the blanks.

Maximum points: 6 points.

Example:

Reading task 2

Assignment 3: A small text and 7 questions to it are given. There are 4 answer options for each question, of which you need to choose 1 correct one.

Maximum points: 7 points.

Example:

Reading task 3

Our advice:

When completing the first task, you need to look for keywords that will indicate the meaning of the text and help you find the title you need. In addition, often the main meaning of a paragraph is reflected in the first sentence, while the rest provide some small details. Therefore, in some cases, you just need to carefully read the first sentence in order to correctly complete the task.
To successfully complete the second task, you need to have a good understanding of how complex sentences are constructed in English. The fact is that the missing part in most cases is part of a complex or complex sentence. For example, if a student understands that in the subordinate clause who is used for people, which for objects, and where for places, he will be able to successfully complete most of the tasks. You also need to reiterate, for example, that the infinitive is used to express purpose.
In the third task, the questions are arranged in the order in which they are answered in the text. That is, the answer to the first question will be at the beginning of the text, and not in the middle or at the end, the answer to the second question will be after the answer to the first, etc.

Grammar and vocabulary

This section of the 2018 English exam tests the graduate's grammatical knowledge and vocabulary. The student is given 40 minutes to complete it. Let's see what the student has to do.

Exercise 1: Given a text with 7 words missing. To the right of the text are the words that need to be transformed grammatically (for example, put a verb at the right time) and insert in place of the gap.

Maximum points: 7 points.

Example:

Grammar and vocabulary task 1

Assignment 2: The text is given with 6 gaps. On the right are the words that need to be transformed both lexically and grammatically - to form a single-root word that matches the meaning of the text.

Maximum points: 6 points.

Example:

Grammar and Vocabulary Task 2

Assignment 3: The text is given with 7 gaps. You need to select for each of them 1 correct answer out of the four proposed.

Maximum points: 7 points.

Example:

Grammar and vocabulary task 3

Our advice:

Conversion of a word in the first part, as a rule, occurs according to the following principle. If you are given a verb, you need to either use it in the correct tense, or put it in the correct form of the voice (active or passive), or form a participle from it. If an adjective is given, you must put it in the comparative or superlative degree. If you need to change a number, most likely you need to make it ordinal.
The second part mainly tests the knowledge of suffixes and prefixes, including negative ones, the ability to form different parts of speech from the same root word.
The third part most often tests the knowledge of word collocations, the so-called collocations. In addition, out of 4 words, you will need to choose the most appropriate in meaning, that is, you need to know the difference between similar words, to read the context.

Letter

The graduate is given 80 minutes to write and check 2 written works.

Exercise 1: Given the text of a short letter from a friend asking questions. The student needs to read it and write an answer letter: answer the friend's questions and ask him questions.

Volume: 100-140 words.

Maximum points: 6 points.

Example:

Letter, task 1

A letter to a friend is written in an informal style. The structure of this work is as follows:

We design the "header"
In the upper right corner we write the address: on the top line we indicate the city, under it - the country of residence. No need to write the street and house number: This can be regarded as the disclosure of confidential information, even if the address is fictitious.
After the address, we skip 1 line and write the date of writing the letter in the same upper right corner.
Further, as usual, on the left we write an unofficial appeal: Dear Tom / Jim (the name will be given in the task). It is unacceptable to write Hello here. After the appeal, put a comma and continue to write the text of the letter from a new line.
Text of the letter
We start writing each paragraph with a red line.
In the first paragraph, you need to thank your friend for the letter you received (Thanks a lot for your last letter) and apologize for not writing earlier (Sorry I haven’t been in touch for so long). You can also mention some fact from the received letter.
In the fourth paragraph, you need to summarize - inform that you are finishing the letter (I’ve got to go now! It’s time for my favorite TV show), and offer to keep in touch (Take care and keep in touch!).
End of letter
At the end, you need to write the final cliché phrase, after which a comma is always put: All the best, Best wishes, etc.
On the next line below this phrase, you enter your name.

Assignment 2: A statement (usually controversial) is given. The graduate writes an essay in which he discusses this topic, expresses his point of view, and also gives the opposite opinion and explains why he does not agree with him.

Volume: 200-250 words.

Maximum points: 14 points.

Example:

Letter, task 2

The essay is written in a neutral style and consists of 5 paragraphs:

Introduction: we formulate a topic-problem and immediately point out that there are two opposite points of view.
Your opinion: we express our point of view (one) on this issue and give 2-3 arguments that confirm it.
Opposing opinions: we write 1-2 opposite points of view and give arguments in favor of their existence.
We express our disagreement: we explain why we do not agree with the above points of view, and we give arguments in defense of our own opinion. However, they should not repeat the arguments from paragraph 2.
Conclusion: we draw a conclusion on this topic, indicate that there are different points of view, and finally confirm our point of view.

Our advice:

Adhere to the required volume. It is permissible to deviate by 10% from the specified number of words, that is, you can write from 90 to 154 words in a letter and from 180 to 275 in an essay. If a graduate writes at least 1 word less (89), he will be given 0 points for the task. If the limit is exceeded, the examiner will count 140 words in a letter or 250 in an essay and evaluate it, moreover, remove points for work in progress, assignment design, topic disclosure, etc.
Avoid paragraphs consisting of one sentence, you need to supplement and justify each of your thoughts. To do this, you can use the constructions In my opinion, I believe, etc.
Follow the style of your writing: Colloquial expressions like Guess what? or Wish me luck !, and your essay should be more formal. It is important not to overdo it with "informality": all kinds of well, cause and slang expressions are unacceptable.
Use linking words, they make the text logical, allow you to supplement or contrast sentences.

Oral speech

The oral part of the exam is the shortest, it only takes 15 minutes. A graduate needs to have time to complete as many as 4 tasks, for which you can get a maximum of 20 points. The student hands over the assignments in front of the computer, his answers are recorded using a headset, and a countdown is shown on the screen. At the same time, there is an organizer in the audience who monitors the course of the exam.

Exercise 1: Popular science text is displayed on the screen. In 1.5 minutes you need to prepare and in the next 1.5 minutes read it expressively aloud.

Lead time: no more than 3 minutes.

Maximum points: 1 point

Example:

Oral speech, task 1

Lead time: about 3 minutes.

Maximum points: 5 points.

Example:

Speaking task 2

Assignment 3: Show 3 photos. You need to choose 1 and describe it according to the plan proposed right there in the assignment.

Lead time: about 3.5 minutes.

Maximum points: 7 points.

Example:

Oral speech, task 3

Assignment 4: 2 pictures are given. It is necessary to compare them, describe the similarities and differences, explain why the chosen topic is close to the graduate.

Lead time: about 3.5 minutes.

Maximum points: 7 points.

Example:

Speaking task 4

Our advice:

Take advantage of online trainer for the oral part of the exam on the website injaz.ege.edu.ru. It completely simulates the exam, so that you will get acquainted with the format and understand exactly what you need to do, what time to fit in, etc.
To complete the first part of the exam, you need take texts on different topics and learn to read them with the correct expression: speech should have pauses, logical stress, natural intonation. In addition, the graduate must fit into one and a half minutes, because the score decreases if the text is not read to the end. However, one should not rush either, because it is not the speed of reading that is tested, but the ability to expressively read the text.
To successfully complete the second task, you need learn to ask questions to different texts... In principle, the task itself is elementary, most of the mistakes are associated with the loss of an auxiliary verb or its incorrect agreement with the noun. This problem is easily solved by doing the question-formulation exercises many times.
In the third task, the examinee needs to choose 1 photo out of 3 proposed and describe it. Here's our top tip - read the assignment carefully... The fact is that it changes slightly every year, so learn to respond accordingly to the wording of 2018. In 2018, graduates will have to describe a photo to a friend, that is, an appeal to him should sound in a monologue. In addition, it is necessary answer all questions in the assignment for example, if it says where and when the photo was taken, you need to answer both where and when questions. At the beginning, it is imperative to inform about which photo will be discussed (I’ve chosen photo number ...). Don't forget about the opening (Would you like to have a look at my picture? / I'd like to show you a picture from my photo album.) And the closing (That's all for now. / I hope you liked my picture.) phrases that make speech logical.
In the fourth task you need to do the main emphasis in speech is on comparing pictures rather than their description. In this case, it is necessary use speech cliches: The first picture depicts ... whereas / while the second picture depicts ..., The main difference is that ..., In comparison to the first picture, this one ... etc. Learn Phrases for Comparison and Contrast with our article.

Textbooks and websites for preparing for the Unified State Exam in English 2018

Now you are familiar with the structure of the exam and understand that graduates will face a difficult test. However, the USE in English in 2018 can be passed easily and successfully if you prepare well for it in advance. And in this, the student will be helped first of all by a good teacher, as well as resources to prepare for this exam. We want to acquaint you with some textbooks and websites that our teachers use to prepare their students for the Unified State Exam. Take note of at least a few of them.

According to the schedule for the unified state exam in 2017, on June 19, during the main period of the USE, exams in history and chemistry are held.

About 135 thousand people applied for participation in the USE in history. For the USE in this subject, more than 2,800 examination points (PES) will be involved.

The history examination paper consists of two parts, which include 25 assignments. It takes 3 hours 55 minutes (235 minutes) to complete it. The established minimum score on the USE in history is 32 points.

Applications for participation in the Unified State Exam in Chemistry in the main period were submitted by 83.5 thousand people, the exam will be held in more than 2,600 PPEs.

The examination paper consists of two parts, which include 34 tasks. It takes 3.5 hours (210 minutes) to complete it. Participants in the exam in chemistry can use a non-programmable calculator for the exam. The established minimum score on the exam in chemistry is 36 points.

The course of exams in the regions will be monitored by public observers and employees of Rosobrnadzor.

Exams in history and chemistry complete the 2017 USE in the main time frame. From June 20 to July 1, reserve days are provided for the delivery of all subjects. Graduates of previous years, as well as graduates of the current year, who received an unsatisfactory result in one of the compulsory subjects (Russian language and mathematics), or who missed the exam for a good reason, will be able to pass exams on a reserve date.

The Unified State Exam is a standardized form of final examinations for secondary school students. A number of such exams, for example, Russian and mathematics, are compulsory, while from other subjects the student can independently choose to pass those that are familiar to him better than others.

Despite the generally standard form of the exam, the details of its organization change somewhat from year to year. Rosobrnadzor is responsible for revising these details, which analyzes the results of tests conducted in previous years and clarifies the procedure for conducting them next year in order to provide students with conditions for passing the exam, allowing them to maximize the knowledge acquired over the years of study. In each specific year, the rules for holding the exam, including a list of examination subjects, the time allotted for writing an exam for each of them, and other parameters, are approved by a special order.

Duration of the exam

The total length of time allotted for completing the tasks of the unified state examination in a specific subject is also determined by Rosobrnadzor, depending on several factors, for example, the complexity of the examination tasks, the total amount of material that a student needs to know in order to successfully pass the exam, and others. At the same time, the length of time for the Unified State Exam includes only the time of work on assignments: preliminary instructions, opening envelopes with texts and other preparatory procedures are not taken into account in the total duration of the exam.

The time taken to write different exams can vary significantly. So, in 2014, the shortest period of time, amounting to only three hours, that is, 180 minutes, was allocated for completing the USE assignments in subjects such as biology, geography, chemistry and foreign languages. Thus, all subjects in this category were elective subjects.

In 2014, 3.5 hours, that is, 210 minutes, were allocated to complete assignments in one of the compulsory subjects - Russian, as well as to write exams in history and social studies. At the same time, in the category of the longest examinations, the duration of which was 235 minutes, one of the compulsory subjects was mathematics, and along with it - physics, computer science and literature. It should be noted that earlier the time allotted for completing assignments in these subjects was 240 minutes, but in 2012 Rosobrnadzor decided to reduce this time period by 5 minutes in connection with sanitary norms and rules.
